Compare how James Paterson and Ben Small voted on unconventional gas mining
James Paterson

Ben Small
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA November 2020 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should allow companies to mine coal seam (CSG), tight and shale gas
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
